Exchange server email

Hopefully someone can help me out. I just switched from UD 2.5 to 3.1.1. Now my work email which is on an exchange server keeps poppng up with a notification telling me it need to be set as the device administrator , and that I have to set a password to unlock my phone each time i turn the screen on. I however do not want this feature. Is there any way to deactivate it through the phone, or is this something that is dictated by the email server. With 2.5 I did not have this problem nor did it ever ask for a password to be set.

I have had nothing but issues with the default email app and gingerbread roms....but never have seen this issue

i have been using Secure EAS and its working great. I suggest trying it out

If you are using a personal phone and don't mind circumventing the security policies of your company, google gingerbread + email.apk. There are a few links with modded stock emails apps that bypass the pin. I use it with a pattern lock on my phone and it works fine.

I downloaded EAS and went through the setup. It came to a screen after it came up and said this account requires it control some of the security features on this phone, that had five or six check boxes. I checked one of the two security boxes that said use local security, and boom goes the dynamite!!! works like a charm. Don't have to put a password in to unlock your phone, not getting the stupid notification stating to setup the security on the phone or anyhting.
